PAPER AN D PLASTER-FOUNDATION SUPPORTING DEVICE.

Application filed August 24, 1922. Serial Nb. 584,143.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUY L. WVoonJAno, a citizen of the United States,residing at San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State ofCalifornia, have invented a certain new: and useful Paper andPlaster-Foundation Supporting Device, of which the following is aspecification.

My invent on relates to a device for securing building paper andsupporting plaster foundation more particularly for spacing andsupporting metallic netting from sheathing, studding or other wallstructures principally for plastic wall eonstruction and the objects ofmy invention are: First, to provide a device of this class which willreduce the cost of securing building paper and plaster foundation towall structures .and 'also greatly facilitate the securing of the same;second, to provide a device of this class for securing-building paper inposition to a wall structure and at the same time provide efficientmeans for securing hog, chicken or other wire netting or plasterfoundation to the wall structure without the addition of other parts;third, to provide a device of this class which will space the plasterfoundation from the walls as well as support the same thereon; fourth,to provide novel means for supporting plaster foundation; fifth, toprovide a novelly constructed device of this class and sixth, to providea device of this class which is very simple and economical ofconstruction, durable, efiicient, easy to install and will not readilydeteriorate or get out of order.

With these and other objects in view as will appear hereinafter myinvention consists of certain novel features'of construction combinationand arrangement of parts and portions as will be hereinafter describedinf detail and particularly set forth in the appended claims, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings and to the char-- acters ofreference thereon which form a part of this application in which:

Fi ure 1 is a front elevational view of my evice showing the samesupporting building paper in position to a wall structure and alsosupporting and spacing plaster foundation from the same; Fig. 2 is aside elevational view thereof showing by dotted lines the securing nailpartially driven into the wall structure and also showing by tegralportion of the clip portion; Fig.

'3 is another side elevation view thereof showing its partiallydistorted shape after being permanently secured to the wall struc ture;Fig. 4 is another side elevational view thereof showing a means ofretaining the nail in the sup orting clip member; Fig. 5 is a slightlymo ified form of construction of my device with a portion of the clipmember omitted; Fig. 6 is a front elevational view of another slightlymodified form of construction of my device from that shown in Fig. 5except that an additional outwardly extending hook portion is providedshowing the hook portlon supportingand spacing plaster foundationfromthe wall structure; Fig. 7 is a side elevational view thereof; Fig.8 is a front elevational view of another slightly modified forin ofconstruction of my device showing the same securing building paper andplaster foundation to a wall structure; Fig. 9 is a sectionalelevational view thereof taken through 99 of Fig. 8; Fig. 10 is anothersectional view thereof taken through 1010 of Fig. 9; Fig. 11 is asectional elevational View of another slightly modified form ofconstruction of my device showing thevsame supporting building paper andplaster foundation to a wall structure and Fig. 12 is still anotherslightly modified form of construction of my vice.

Like characters of reference refer to similar parts and portionsthroughout the several views ofthe drawings.

The clip 1, and the nail 2 constitute the principal parts and portionsof my device for supporting weather paper and plaster foundation in thepreferred forms of construction.

The clip member shown in Figs. 1 to 7 of the drawings is preferably madeof semiresilient sheet metal bent into a series of loops'to provideflexibility and simple and simultaneously to the securing and SPSAAIIgof the plaster foundation to the wall structure. It will also be notedthat the head of the nail is spaced inwardly or toward the supportingwall structure from the plane of the plaster foundation, so that saidhead will not interfere with the applying of the plastic material to thewall structure as shown best in Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 of the drawings.The outermost loop portion 1 of the S shaped clip member of my device asshown in Figs. 6 and 7 of the drawings is provided with an outwardlyextending hook portion 1 preferably made an integral portion of the saidmember to receive and secure the plaster foundation, which hook portionis bent inwardly by the head of the nail 2 as the same is driven intothe wall structure in securing the clip membei itself thereto.

The plaster foundation securing and spacing member in the modified formof construction as shown in Figs. 8, 9 and 10 of the drawings consistsof a button 3 preferably moulded or pressed out of metal and is providedwith a hook portion 3 as'pre viously described in connection with theplaster foundation securing member in Figs. 6 and 7 of the drawings.Said hook portion is similarly bent inwardly as the nail 2 is driveninto the wall structure for securing the member 3.

The plaster foundation and securing member shown in Fig. 11 of thedrawings consists of a solid block 4 with a transverse hole atherethrough to receive the nail 2 and a groove l contiguous to the hole4* on the outside face of said block 4 to r ceive a strand of theplaster foundation, said strand being secured by the head of the nailsecuring the block 4 to the wall structure.

The building paper securing and plaster foundation securing and spacingmember as shown in the modified form of construction in Fig. 12 of thedrawings consists of a nail 5 with two heads 5 and 5, the latter headbeing spaced from and in alignment with the head 5 The head 5 isprovided with a slot portion 5 in one side of said head and extends tothe central portion thereof which slot is adapted to receive a strand ofthe plaster foundation. The member 5 is driven into the wall structuresimilarly to the conventional nail by driving on the extended head 5";the strand of plaster foundation is then inserted in the slot 5 of thehead 5 and by a blow of the hammer on the side of the head provided withthe rangement of parts and portions and cer-.. f

tain modifications thereof I do not wish to be limited to thisparticular construction, combination and arrangement nor to themodifications but desire to include in the scope of my invention theconstruction, com

'bination and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appendedclaims.

It is obvious that the securing member may be made an integral ortion ofor interwoven with the stran s of the plaster foundation if desired inorder to reduce the cost and still further facilitate the securing ofthe plaster foundation to wall structures.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is: i

1. A device of the class described, including a yieldable plasterfoundation supporting member formed with consecutive alternatelydisposed loop portions and a pointed securing member positioned at asubstantial right angle to one side of said supporting member andextending therethrough adapted to secure said supporting member to awall structure.

2. A device of the class described, including a plate, folded intoconsecutively spaced and alternately disposed resilient portions forminga plaster foundation securing and spacing portion at its outer end and asecuring member extending through several of said folded. alternatelydisposed resilient portions into a supporting structure, positioning andlockin said plaster foundation in the securing an spacing portion ofsaid supporting member.

A device, of the class described, including a plaster foundationsupporting member provided with consecutively spaced and oppositelydisposed, resilient, folded portions providing a plaster foundationsecuring and spacing portion at its outer end and a. nail meansextending through holes in several of said folded portions into a wallstructure, positioning and clamping said plaster foundation in thesecuring and spacing portion of said supporting member with its head,which head is positioned nearer the wall structure than the plasterfoundation.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at San Diego,California, this, 16th day of August 1922.
